Amtrak Southwest Chief #3(1) has two Metrolink coaches...
Author: PasadenaSub

As seen on the Galesburg railcam, today's westbound Amtrak #3 has 2 Metrolink coaches right behind the power - heading to LA after presumed refurbishment in Milwaukee.

I also notice it has a third Superliner behind the lounge. I'll bet this is the first of the "three-coach" Southwest Chiefs of this year's summer season coming west.

Where are the metrolink cars coming from?  I have seen unrefurbished metrolink cars heading east to Chicago.

For some time now, Metrolink coaches have been going to the Talgo plant in Milwaukee for refurbishing.

Interesting, as tonight 3 and 4 will pass like two ships in the night, both with Phase VII leaders, and both with two Metrolink Coaches in tow.
